Modernization Plan
The Author the Modernization Blueprint step is the culmination of the process for creating a segment architecture blueprint. The step begins with the identification and categorization of findings and the definition of associated transition options that address segment performance improvement opportunities and implementation of the performance, business, data, and conceptual solution architectures developed in process steps 2, 3 and 4. Transition options are a set of one or more alternatives for transitioning from the as-is to the target state. Transition options are analyzed for cost, benefit and risk in order to develop implementation recommendations. These implementation recommendations consist of validated transition options related to the findings and, ultimately, segment performance improvement opportunities. Taking into consideration logical and discretionary dependencies between the implementation recommendations, these recommendations are prioritized to develop a sequencing plan that provides the basis for developing the modernization blueprint. Figure 1 provides an overview of the development and sequencing of implementation recommendations.2.1 Modernization plan

Transition Framework
The FTF Catalog organizes and describes existing cross-agency initiatives to increase
awareness among agency officials, increase the use of cross-agency initiatives as elements
of agency enterprise architecture, and enhance government-wide benefits by accelerating
the adoption of cross-agency initiatives.
Information published in the FTF Catalog helps agencies fulfill existing objectives and
requirements, and is provided to support the following goals:
• Increase agency awareness and participation in cross-agency initiatives
• Increase the alignment of agency enterprise architecture with federal IT policy
decisions or other forms of official guidance
• Increase sharing and reuse of common cross-agency business processes, service
components and technology standards
• Increase collaboration through agency participation in cross-agency communities of
practice.
Publication of the FTF Catalog is linked to the agency enterprise architecture (EA)
assessment process. Information is provided to agency officials and other stakeholders
using a simple, repeatable process that is applied to establish clear relationships between
cross-agency initiatives, agency enterprise architecture and agency IT investments.
The FTF Catalog is published annually to support agency EA planning and the EA
assessment process. Incremental versions of the catalog can be released throughout the
year to provide information to stakeholders describing new or revised policy objectives.
